YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – One local small business is being recognized as the Best Women‑Owned Small Business of the Year in the entire state of Arizona.
“Tacos Marlyn” in Yuma received the recognition from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The administration says they’re being honored not only for their commitment to supporting other local businesses but also for delivering high‑quality food.
Patricia Lara, co‑owner of Tacos Marlyn, said, “I don’t know…we kind of got it by surprise, honestly. We are just so grateful for it. We think it’s so big, and we’re really happy about it.”
A total of nine small businesses in Arizona were honored for their contributions to the state’s economy.
